February 20th

Hi, sorry I haven’t been blogging this week.  My husband is on a trip to Cuba and so he took the camera.  My parents came to visit and were staying in the bedroom that has the computer.  So blogging was not going to work too well for this week.  I miss it though!  So I should be back tomorrow.

The book “Sleep away the pounds” is great!

I am also listening to “In Defense of Food: and eater’s manifesto” on audio right now.  I love that I discovered I can download audio books from the library and listen to them while I am at the computer.

“Sleep Away the Pounds”

So I just picked up this book from the library and it is incredible!  Whether you have trouble sleeping, eating before bed, or not it is a great resource.  The whole first part is a good, thorough, quick read on hormones inclusing: Leptin, insulin, ghrelin, cortisol, & growth hormone.

I think part of my problem is that I eat a snack before bed that causes hyperglycemia early in the night.  My body produces a plethera of insulin to take care of all the sugar and I become hypoglycemia.  That is when I wake up because my body signals that it needs more food.  It may also be an adrenaline problem that my “flight or fight” response is going during the night. 

Anyways I definitely give this book 2 thumbs up!

So I joined this site yesterday.  It is a 60 day study to help a person learn about healthy nutrition, wanting to glorify the Lord with their body, wanting to lose weight for the right reasons.  I also now have a mentor and I think that is the most incredible part.  She will read my responses, share stories about herself, someone for me to ask anything about.  This is honestly the most amazing thing I have found.  If you are trying to become healthy or lose weight check it out.
